Why Can’t We lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woke up early this morning, with a smile on my face
Thought you were next to me, but then I see you walking away
Something ain't right this morning
Is it a sign he's leaving me?
So I call on a friend who might know better than me
She says

[Pre-Chorus]
You worry much about things you don't understand
But don't give up, if it doesn't go with the plan
Why not have some fun while you're still young and still okay?
'Cause life is short
Do what you can today, today!

[Chorus]
Why can't we be happy?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Why can't we be happy?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
What is life about?
Did nobody tell you?
The reason why I ask I can see you're so confused, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
You worry much about the things you cannot see
You have it all, with your money, you still complain
Why not live this life while you're still young and still okay?
'Cause life is short
Do what you can today, today

[Chorus]
Why can't we be happy?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Why can't we be happy?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Tell me, why can't we be happy? (Why can't we be happy)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Why can't we be happy?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Yeah, yeah)

[Interlude]
Bayuba, bayubay
Ai-yah, Ai-yah
Bayuba, bayubay, ey
Aaa-ah

[Verse 3]
Tell me why can't we be loving?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Why can't we be smiling?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Why can't we be living? (Yea, yea!)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Tell me why can't we be smiling?
Yeah, yeah (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And why can't we be happy? (Why can't we?)
Yea, yea (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, why can't we be loving? (Why can't we be smiling?)
Yeeh
[Outro]
Why?
Why can't we be loving?
Yeah, yea-e-yea-e-yea, ah-ahn
